Abstract:
Aim
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin E on sperm parameters in adult rat treated with para-nonylphenol.Material And Methods
Adult male rats were divided into four groups: Control, para-nonylphenol, vitamin E and para-nonylphenl+vitamin E. Oral treatments were performed till 56 days. At the end of treatments, body and left testis weight were recorded and left caudal epididymis was cut in a medium. Released spermatozoa were used to analyze sperm parameters such as sperm number, viability, morphology and motility. Sperm chromatin quality was assessed by nuclear staining using acridine orange and aniline blue. Results
Body and testis weight as well as normal sperm morphology showed no significant change in four groups. A significant decrease in the number, viability and motility of the sperm was found in rats treated by para-nonylphenol compared to the control. This decrease was significantly compensated by vitamin E in para-nonylphenol+vitamin E group compared to para-nonylphenol group. The application of vitamin E alone could significantly increase sperm viability and motility as comared with the control. Para-nonylphenol had no effect on sperm DNA integrity and histon-protamine replacement compared to the control.Conclusion
Vitamin E, as a potent antioxidant, could protect the adverse effect of para-nonylphenol on certain sperm parameters in adult rats.Keywords:
